Are you happy that Artificial Intelligence could be used to influence your shopping choices?It is part of a plan for Worldwide Blockchain Technology, linking everything to everything. NHS is already using Blockchain to make all patients information available to everybody such as doctors, hospitals, schools, insurance companies etc. Soon, your shopping habits will belong to a database to assess your credit rating. DWP is already allowed access to bank accounts, private information no more... Blockchain technology. Quote from: The Grocer. But the underlying concept - a tamper-proof, time-stamped, shared ledger - has far wider applications. When applied to a supply chain, blockchain serves as a shared, immutable and auditable record of information from, and transactions between, the different stakeholders along it.ViewDate:

Would you prefer a cup of tea or a gin & tonic?Shhhhh! Don't mention age! Wonder how old Dick Emery was in this ad? "Ooh you are awful, but I like you." Just mark it up as a plus that you can remember that far back Wilf. :)ViewDate:

Pilates PoemOoh! makes me tired just reading your descriptive poem Nikbo. I would be packing my big old elephant trunk and wandering off to pastures new. Too much like "boot camp" for me. I much prefer the meditative practice...Aummmm...ViewDate:

Would you prefer a cup of tea or a gin & tonic?Yep! A great cup of "builder's tea" after a hard days shopping for me Wilf, with a nice Rich Tea to go with it of course. I remember the Chimps PG ad, how about this old one? https://youtu.be/tHetcP0ufGU?si=ObphEqjeydUgKIbrViewDate:

Would you prefer a cup of tea or a gin & tonic?A cup of tea for me. Tea is a great comforter in all situations. Bombs dropping all over the place during the blitz, and everyone was "putting the kettle on." Sweet tea for shock, and all kinds of flavours to choose from for various reasons. Gin? hate the taste!ViewDate:

Stage and screen star Timothy West dies aged 90 surrounded by familyHow very sad, I loved this actor. His adventures on his barge journeys along the canals with his wife Prunella were lovely to watch. He was concerned about Prunella's vascular dementia, how awful to think he went before her. I hope she is well looked after.ViewDate:

When dining out, is it okay for your friend/partner to dig into your plate of food?It is an expression derived from Shaw's Pygmalion play of 1913, a humerous way of saying "not bl**dy likely." Carole.ViewDate:

When dining out, is it okay for your friend/partner to dig into your plate of food?I see in many romantic movies that they seem to feed each other like birds feeding their young, and lost in a haze of blissful love, they dig into each others plates of food. Maybe my lunch date had seen far too many romantic movies is all I can say Carole.ViewDate:

Mushroom and Ham pasta sauceI do hope you make it and like it Mac50, I make it all the time, it is very quick and it is really delicious, lots of calories, but don't all delicious dishes have loads of calories? Let me know when you try it, love to know what you think.ViewDate:

What the budget means for you - is it better or worse than you thought it would be?Ha ha Lionel, Trump winning has really put the globalists noses out of joint. Hilary Clinton's "deplorables" and Joe Biden's "garbage" have powerfully made their mark. Delusional globalists at Davos really believe everybody wants a ticket on their fast train to destruction. This resounding vote for Trump will have them frantically ordering masses of new electric garbage trucks. Starmer? Who has stated he would rather be in Davos than Westminster is probably being advised by ( Mandelson and Blair) on how to wriggle his way through it all. But...he did have a good lunch with Trump after all. Lammy? Skating on thin ice right now.ViewDate:

What the budget means for you - is it better or worse than you thought it would be?Farmers are furious, threatening to go on strike! I wonder who will be the poorer for the governements budget? Taxing the rich will not really effect them much, they are making billions in profits. How will they recoup their taxes? By the trickle-down effect, which will ultimately reach the poor, they will have to stump up when prices rise. Buckle up and tighten your belts dear prols, we are in for a bumpy ride.ViewDate:

Are you happy that Artificial Intelligence could be used to influence your shopping choices?Interesting to see that Barclays Bank have acquired Tesco Bank, and Ovo green energy supplier is partnered with Tesco. You can use your Tesco clubcard points on Ovo energy site, who will then give you 2.500 points when you allow your clubcard details to be given. A long list including having a smart meter is one of the requirements. I see a pattern emerging here. Keeping track of what we eat and how much energy we use. How long before the fully digitised credit system is put in place? So many places are already cashless.ViewDate:

10 hobbies to help de-stressI love jigsaw puzzles. I have found a great way to do jigsaws with Microsoft games. They have a huge array of jigsaws to try or you can download your own photos or pictures and make them into a jigsaw. I have a large screen monitor so easy for me to see. The nice thing about it is that you don't need your spectacles, you can enlarge the pieces or reduce them. I just love it, very calming.ViewDate:

Astronomic rise in car Insurance.Thank you for replying Scruffles. Never heard of quotemehappy, £148 46, is unbelievable! my insurance with Churchill went up from £365.00 last year to over £800 this year. I think cris1117 is right, shop around more. Heard something interesting the other day, your car sends your driving habits to a central hub where the insurance companies collect your data and use that to guage what to charge you. I must have been a very, very bad girl, speeding and dodging and committing all sorts of misdemeanours.ViewDate:

Deer troublePotato pilferer. I planted and grew a nice crop of potatoes and they were ready for harvesting. I went to dig them up and found that someone had already dug them all up and stolen them. I am very disappointed, I was looking forward to nice fresh potatoes. Are things so bad that our gardens will be raided in the future?ViewDate:

Will you be opening your door to trick-or-treaters this Halloween?No I won't be doing it this year. Over the years I have prepared for trick and treaters with all kinds of goodies. Embracing the spirit of Halloween I dressed up as a witch with a green face, pointy hat etc, but nobody came. (Not surprised.) I think parents are terrified of letting their children go out in the dark these days.ViewDate:

Astronomic rise in car Insurance.Well I guess I am too dumb and lazy to go trawling around for something that should be honest and upfront in the beginning cris. Time these greedy money -grubbers are brought into line with realistic price increases. I think most of the increases are caused by electric cars, I will say no more.ViewDate:

Astronomic rise in car Insurance.Thanks for that cris1117, I wonder though, why insurance providers are allowed to inflate their prices to such an extent. Wouldn't it be better if we could stay with our providor and get a fair price, not all of us like to go hopping and shopping around for a fairer deal. Once again, everything is rampantly out of control.ViewDate:

Does traditional pie and mash deserve to be given protected status?For Gods sake, leave the last vestige of things we enjoy alone. If MPs are that desperate to come up with new ways to regulate us, I can give them a huge list to work on, and our beloved pies won't be on it. Pies are pies, their are huge variations in the contents so buttoning down and regulating what SHOULD be put in them and how they are made is a waste of time and of course, money. The cornish pasty has already been regulated, what next? Waste not want not dear government, remember the mythical black holes.ViewDate:

Would you have weight-loss jabs if you were offered them on the NHS?Well here goes, sorry this is an epistle, but very relevant. Keir Starmer wants the overweight population to take the Wegovy or Ozempic jab and get back to work, well good luck with that. Over the 5-month initial treatment period, a Wegovy course will cost, on average, £229.99 PER MONTH. A full course will be in the region of £1149.99 With the NHS already on its knees, who is going to foot the bill? From GOV.UK Obesity Profile: short statistical commentary May 2023 gov.uk › government › statistics › obesity-... 3 May 2023 — 63.8% of adults aged 18 years and over in England were estimated to be overweight or living with obesity. This was an increase from 2020 to 2021 (63.3%). If we have such an urgent need to fill the “black hole” how many obese people are going to be treated for maybe the rest of their lives and how much is it going to cost the NHS? We are not including the Type 2 Diabetes patients who are already taking it. There will be a time when his outrageous idea will be challenged and the now famous words “Lessons were learned “will be uttered yet again. In a world of confusion and unhappiness, with depression at an all time high. How do people cope? Overeating is a mindset. People who are unhappy are known to turn to food as a temporary fix. Carbohydrate consumption is known to increase serotonin levels, so turning to food to fix unhappiness ultimately leads to obesity. If you were to ask a group of obese people if they liked being obese, it would be a resounding “no.” Education is the key, teaching people how to make easy and appealing meals with natural foods, is a key factor. Many young people today have no clue how to cook or how to recognise proper nutrition. Domestic science taught in schools in the past gave students the knowledge to do these things. I would like to see domestic science classes re-introduced to the curriculum. Perhaps obese people should be given the opportunity to go to classes just as we did in the past. Maybe some silver haired teachers could impart a host of tips and expertise. Pharmaceutical giant NovoNordisk who manufacture these drugs and who in March 2024 reached $604B market cap and became 12th most valuable company in the world, will be clapping their hands in glee when most of our population are conned into taking the bait. There are too many people with a Coca Cola addiction, tax it the same way alcohol is taxed. Government clamping down on excessive salt and sugars in fast and convenience food and outlets could be solving half the problem. Governments have failed the people.ViewDate:

Do you think winter fuel payment should be means tested?If the reason Rachel Reeves is enforcing such harsh measures on pensioners and those in need is because of the “black hole” of £22 billion... Why then is she so reluctant to show detailed documents or information to back up her claims? When asked about this directly, Kier Starmer avoided the question and waffled his way out. Heretofore, freedom of information requests (Daily Telegraph freedom of information request) has been declined. The excuse given is that “The details would be published only in accordance with agreed timelines to allow the relevant officials time to complete the preparation of the information to ensure it is accurate and correct prior to publication.” (sic) ( In other words, they are scrambling to put something feasible together.) Does the “black hole” even exist? Technically, it is impossible for the UK government to have a black hole in its budget. There are many avenues they could have taken to circumvent it. Rachel Reeves worked for the Bank of England and must know how it all works. There will be hell to pay when it is found not to exist, and that Rachel Reeves used this as an excuse to dodge their election promises. Slippery politicians will of course find a way to filibuster their way out of it yet again.ViewDate:

Global WarmingSomething I am struggling to understand. If the powers that be are encouraging us to save electricity to save the planet, then why is it that just about everything you buy and most new inventions are rechargeable? From toothbrushes to Dab radio to vacuum cleaners, I am constantly having to recharge. Well, I am now going back to the good old manual way of doing things. Just doing my bit to save the planet :) I wish I could be recharaged! :( Do you remember the Ewbank carpet sweeper? -
